A TRIBUTE TO TIM CONSIDINE (1940-2022)

[@rebeccaharp3254]

I still like to watch all these old programs because they are so wholesome!

[@grey1951]

I feel the same way about these old shows. It's nice to be able to go back in time and remember how things were. Thank you for commenting!

[@user-mr1go2xq1j]

Loved all the shows Tim Considine was in, all the mouseketeers were favorite rolemodel images for me as I grew up!!!

[@grey1951]

I agree. Tim was a great role model for kids in those shows. Thanks for the comment!

[@MaryOliver-pq9ji]

Very nice tribute. Tim was probably my first crush, being about six years older than me. I used to watch Mickey Mouse Club et al at the local liquor store, which had a tv and I didn't at home. If you want to see Tim in The Swamp Fox, it's now being shown on You Tube. Sad to hear of his passing. R. I. P. Tim.

[@grey1951]

Thanks so much for commenting. It's always nice to hear from someone who remembers the Mickey Mouse Club and Tim Considine. I did find The Swamp Fox on KZbin, and I was able to catch some of Tim's episodes. It was fun seeing him in a show that I missed out on all these years. Take care!

[@thehair1474]

Tim was marvelous in the Swamp Fox, but who wouldn't be acting with Leslie Nielsen, whom this show made a star. After a thoroughly rollicking episode, Tim is killed, horrifying his fans, and he was a teenaged idol at the time. The death scene was brilliantly acted. Kudos to all.

[@lifehappens2903]

I discovered Tim Considine in My Three Sons. I was sad that he decided to leave the show after 5yrs. I wanted to watch more of his appearance in the later years of the show. Tim lived a very long life.

[@grey1951]

Yes, he did live a long life, which is a great blessing. And it seems he was able to accomplish quite a bit professionally, so it would appear that he fulfilled many of his dreams and goals. But he was always a good actor, and it would have been nice to see him continue in films and television so we could keep up with him and enjoy his performances. But at least he did come back for some things associated with Disney or My Three Sons. Thank you for the comments!

[@uncabuzz118]

Hi Mike....you and I are the same age. I was saddened a few days ago when I heard the news about Tim Considine. I was a daily viewer of the Mickey Mouse Club. "Meeska, mooska, mouseketeer...mouse cartoon time now is here." I was a big fan of Tim and his Hardy Boys and Spin and Marty shows. The Swamp Fox was shown on the Magical World of Disney. Tim played the nephew of Leslie Neilsen's revolutionary hero. Tim also did episodes of The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, Cheyenne, Bonanza and The Fugitive. You also mentioned the passing of Tommy Kirk who also had a huge presence at Disney. Kirk may have had a bigger impact on me because he was in the hugely successful films Old Yeller and Swiss Family Robinson. 60 years later I can still see those nasty pirates climbing up the cliffs towards the Swiss family compound. Also last April we lost original mouseketeer Johnny Crawford. that put a huge pit in my stomach. I still to this day watch The Rifleman almost everyday. The older we get the more the people and things we love fall away. Its hard but what can we do? I guess remember those with a smile and a deep appreciation for the pleasure they gave us all.

[@grey1951]

Thank you so much for this response. You and I share a lot of cultural history, so I'm very happy to know you. I felt the same way when Tommy Kirk and Johnny Crawford died, but I guess losing Tim was the final straw that really got to me. And it wasn't that long ago that Kevin "Moochie" Corcoran passed away, not to mention Annette and some of the Mouseketeers. You're right, though. The best thing to do is remember them and continue to enjoy the films, etc., that they gave to the world. I have all the seasons of Cheyenne, but there's a lot of episodes I haven't yet watched. I'll try to find the one Tim was on. The Rifleman is a terrific show, and always good to watch. Thanks again for watching my video. Take care!

[@uncabuzz118]

@@grey1951 Mike, the episode of Cheyenne with Tim is called REPRIEVE and it features Connie Stevens. As you know, Connie played "Cricket" on Hawaiian Eye from 1959-1963 with Robert Conrad.OMG! Down the rabbit hole we go!

[@grey1951]

@@uncabuzz118 Thanks, Uncle Buzz. I found the name of the Cheyenne episode on IMDB and watched it last night. Excellent performances by Tim and Connie. Speaking of Hawaiian Eye, that is one series I never got a chance to see back when I was a kid, and I wish it was available on home video. At least, I've never found it. That's a rabbit hole I would be happy to get lost in!!

[@aliceperkins8218]

This tribute is a wonderful thing to do for Tim Considine! Those of us who remember him are the lucky ones. I never missed an episode of "My Three Sons," until he left, and then I didn't watch the show again. You mentioned that he wrote books, he also co-wrote a script with his brother John, for a "Combat" episode, another one of my favorite 60s shows.

[@grey1951]

Thank you for commenting! I didn't know about Tim and his brother writing that Combat episode. Tim was certainly a talented, versatile gentleman.

[@Shopgirl325]

Just finished watching for the umpteenth time the hardy boys both the treasure series and the ghost series. These, along the the Annette series are great comforts to me in this old weird world. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And, you’re right, as we age it’s hard to see those who we essentially grew up with, pass away and slap us with our own mortality. I know this post is a couple of years ago but thanks for sharing.

[@grey1951]

Thank you so much for commenting! This post seems to be having a resurgence for some reason, and I'm enjoying reading what everyone has to say. It is sad to lose all of these cultural touchstones like Tim and Annette. But they will always be alive to those of us who remember and love them. Take care, and happy viewing of the Disney classics!!

Thank you for the comment, Mr. Dark. I didn't mean to make you cry as well. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Take care!

[@MissouriTigerTV]

Tim was a fantastic guy and a friend of mine. He was a huge help and mentor to me when I was writing Masten Gregory's biography. He told me in our last phone conversation in late 2019 that he was Pele's lead photographer back in the 70s. He told me the URL ink to all of his photography which was was private that I would love to remember and revist.

[@grey1951]

Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your friendship with Tim! I remember reading about his association with Pele. Tim was such an accomplished and talented guy in so many fields. He was one child star who made a success of his life. I'm grateful for growing up when I did. Tim and David Stollery and so many others left us such wonderful memories.

[@Jared_Wignall]

He was a fantastic actor. It’s unfortunate he’s gone, but he played various roles in films and television that we’ll get to continue to watch him in. My Three Sons is a fantastic show and Patton is a definite classic.

[@grey1951]

Jared, I'm glad to hear that you know about Tim Considine and his work. Thanks for commenting. I haven't seen Patton in many years, and I found a film clip of Tim's scene. Both he and George C. Scott are very impressive.

[@misterspock3561]

Good guy for sure. I have seen many of the shows he was in. Even the show he was not in (read to the end) He is now with Annette, Jimmy and the rest of them. RIP Tim. Side note, I always thought Tim was in Knight Rider. I recently discovered it was his brother John.. LOL, Go figure.. BTW, Love the shirt!

[@grey1951]

Glad you like the shirt! I picked it up at a convention a few years ago. I'm guessing you are a dedicated Trek fan. Nice to hear from someone who remembers Tim Considine. I know his brother has also been in show business for a long time, and I wonder if they ever acted together.

[@TheMartinick]

Just lovedTim Considine. RIP, “Spin.”❤

[@grey1951]

Thank you!

[@LouFitton]

Thank you. Touching tribute. One of my favorite memories of Tim is from an interview he did when he said, nothing I have ever done since "Spin and Marty" has had any where near the impact that that show did. so true. Who would have guessed that so many of us would be connected by that long-ago serial. Aren't we the lucky ones.

[@grey1951]

Thank you so much for commenting. One thing I always loved about Tim and David Stollery was their respectful attitude toward the Spin & Marty legacy and all of the fans who still love the show. They were always very humble and down to earth about themselves and their careers. And yes, we are indeed the lucky ones!

[@jamesdamico9284]

Very emotional and heartfelt tribute. I’m 62 and only know of Tim thru My Three Sons reruns which I still enjoy today but I understand your sadness in seeing the people you grew up watching pass on . Maybe it’s because they never seem to age watching the reruns. Anyhow wonderful tribute .

[@grey1951]

Thank you so much for the comment! It's true that these wonderful people never age for all of us who continue to watch the old shows and old movies. I relate to the old culture much more than the present.

[@TheDriveInGuys]

Nothing to apologize for, sir. A very heartfelt, very moving tribute to an 'old friend.' I'm 60, sir (and a film actor, too, but nowhere near an icon .. or anything else, for that matter), and mainly remember discovering MY THREE SONS in my high school years. The show I 'grew up with' was LEAVE IT TO BEAVER (RIP, Mr. Tony Dow). I knew of Mr. Considine from TMMC, but really became intrigued by his portrayal of eldest son, Mike Douglas, in the black-and-white years (sans his swan song color episode cameo) when NICK AT NITE premiered the MTS 1960-1965 episodes. I'd never known about Bub before that, or how the in color episodes were able to employ b + w flashbacks. Anyway, Tim became my favorite son, and I wish he had continued. I've learned - to the best of my recollection - that Mr. Considine decided that he'd like to try his hand at directing MTS, but received a thumbs-down from the higher-ups, and in turn, parted ways. Do you, sir, know of the exact circumstances that led to Tim's departure? Thank you again for this well-deserved tribute, and may Mr. Tim Considine (1940-2022) rest in eternal peace. - 'Drive-In' Dave Lounder

[@grey1951]

Thank you so much for the great comments! It's always nice to hear from people who appreciate these movies & TV shows from the past. I also loved Leave It To Beaver and it was very sad to lose Tony Dow. He was a fine actor as well as a talented sculptor. I'm afraid I don't know any more than you do about why Tim Considine left My Three Sons after five years. But I've also heard that he wanted to try directing and wasn't given the chance by the show's producers. So, it's quite possible that was the primary reason. It's also possible that he was anxious to try other areas besides acting, which he did with great success. He only did a handful of acting gigs after leaving MTS. I've listened to some of his interviews, but I don't know that much about his personal life and why he made some of the choices he made. I kind of wish there had been an autobiography, but he may have wanted to keep his privacy. I'm just grateful that so much of his work is available to see. Thanks again for watching my video. Take care!

[@michellemcdonald4732]

I'm your age. I remember Tim Considine, Spin and Marty, and also, his brother , John, was in the movie, The Greatest Story Ever Told. Don't apologize for your tears. It's so beautiful to see love and friendship. I remember all of these films.

Just watching Spin and Marty again Saw for the first time The Hardy Boys with Tim and Tommy. Very recently. And He plays the Swamp Foxes nephew. Love It! We are a Season 4 of My Three Sons. So Tim’s been a big part of my life these last few weeks. So glad a bought the Silver boxes when they were a reasonable price. I’m 67 this summer. I love the shows of the 40’s 50’s and early 60’s Keeping Walt in Disney on KZbin is a great place to find the classics of Walt.

[@Kubricklover1972]

Hey Mike. Sorry to hear that one of your favorite actors died. However, as you have pointed out, he leaves a legacy that will live on with your generation and maybe people younger will discover him and get into him as well. Patton is one of my favorite movies and I remember that scene where George C. Scott says something like"You're nothing but a godamn coward." And says something about putting him in the front lines. My mother remembered that that incident actually happened with Patton and it tarnished him a bit in how he treated soldiers. I know Eddie Van Halen didn't die in his 80's but he's one of the people I truly miss because he was so incredibly talented and could offer more if he had lived on. I have a hard time, in a sense, accepting that's he's dead. I did a stream I think on the day he died about him where I think just played around with my guitar in tribute to him. I'm honored that you share such information with us and tell us about things we would have been left in the dark about if it wasn't for you. R.I.P.

[@grey1951]

Thanks so much for the great comments, Brian. I didn't know you were such a dedicated fan of Eddie Van Halen. He really was a terrific guitar player, and it was very sad when he died so young. I know how you must feel losing one of your music heroes. It's not easy to accept it sometimes. The scene from Patton with Tim Considine is on KZbin. Just search out Tim Considine Patton and you'll find it. I haven't seen that film since it first came out. General Patton must have been a real piece of work!

[@gibsonaloha]

Tim was great in the quality show the Swamp Fox series about patriot Francis Marion & his men in South Carolina , which was quite an extensive series with Leslie Nielsen! You can find the series on KZbin. Tim played Swamp Fox’s nephew !

I remember "Swamp Fox" ! (I was born in 1949.) It was one of the Disney dramas based on an historical character from American history, Francis Marion. Francis Marion was an American patriot from the Carolina's during the Revolutionary War and his real life story and exploits are similar to those of the character in the movie "The Patriot". and I remember this from more than 60 years ago....

[@grey1951]

That culture ain't going nowhere, I'm 27 years old and live to keep the 1950s alive. I just discovered Spin and Marty a few months ago and it has been just as much a blessing to me as it was to y'all back then. When I watch the show it takes me back to my childhood at summer camp, boyhood, and innocence it's a good feeling. I've also started my own Spin and Marty collection. I've got all 3 seasons on dvd, the original record, photographs, a replica Tshirt and more and more original comics by the day. I'll post a KZbin video of it once it's complete. God bless and best wishes!

Hey, thank you so much for the great comments! I'm happy to know someone who appreciates the good things about 1950's culture. There are plenty of people who love to criticize that era and its values, so it's nice to hear someone so young say something positive. That sounds like quite a collection, and I look forward to seeing your video. I just subbed to your channel.

Really appreciated your heartfelt tribute, Mike. Of course The Mickey Mouse Club was a part of my childhood as well.

Heavy hitting video, Grey. Really appreciate your heartfelt words. I don’t know much about Tim, but just watched Paton again a couple of months ago and made the connection upon watching this tribute. What a great scene! I know how you feel. When Glen Campbell passed away a few years ago it really hit me hard. I could hardly listen to a song if his without breaking up. He was such an influence on me as a musician. When Ennio Morricone passed I had a similar experience. The iconic music on some of my most beloved films hit me like a wrecking ball. Mike, thank you for your wonderful ability to get us to stop, breath, and appreciate what we have. Stay gold my friend!

[@grey1951]

Thank you so much for your comments, your support, and for your friendship here on YT over these several years. It means a lot to me. Glen Campbell was an incredible artist, and I was also very sad when he passed. he made some great music over the span of his career. It's so hard to lose these people who have been a big part of our lives and cultural experience. The first time I ever felt that sense of loss was back in 1970 when Janis Joplin died. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Even more than when we lost JFK. When someone is that young, you just don't expect it. Now that my heroes are getting old, it doesn't make it any easier to see them leave this world. Such is the way of life. Take care, Jcrash. Always good to hear from you.

[@gorvo31]

Hey Mike, Very touching tribute here. It's clear what he and others similarly of that time and even aesthetic mean to you. It really hits home for me what you said about the world we relate to from then disappearing, even though you and I grew up part of different generations...those feelings still resonate very much so here. It's like a part of us will always be part of that which was formative to our lives. I have heard of Spin & Marty though was only familiar with him by name. Never knew he did that Joni cover photo, so striking! Thanks for sharing this with us. -Carm

[@grey1951]

Thanks for watching and commenting, Carm. I admit I love the culture of films and music that I grew up with, maybe a little too much. There are many things from that era that I'm just now discovering; films I never saw and music I never heard before. So, what's "old" can still be "new". But there are a lot of things going on today that I get passionate about as well. For example, the new version of West Side Story. I had a negative attitude about it at first because i have such great love for the 1961 film. But I went to see the 2021 film and completely fell in love with it. Maybe there's hope for me after all!

[@karennoske3008]

This was very touching and heartfelt. I know what you mean about watching the world you knew and relate to disappearing. My kids and I watched Spin and Marty in reruns in the 1980's and LOVED it. I have been binge-watching it lately (got the cool DVD you show and loved Leonard Maltin's intros, didn't you? Very respectful and appreciative, not sarcastic or snarky as so many others seem to feel compelled to do). I truly loved that show and find that, even though it's intended for kids, it still has an excellent message about reaching out to outsiders and how to take the "chip" off your shoulder in order to make friends. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in such a real way here. God bless you, my friend!

[@grey1951]

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comments! I agree with everything you said, especially about the important message the show conveyed about reaching out to outsiders, etc. Those messages and values are as important today as they were in the 1950s. Maybe even more, considering the craziness in today's world. Leonard Maltin was the perfect person to introduce these shows, because he's not just a critic, but also a fan who has a solid connection with the culture of that era. I hope someday the second and third seasons of Spin & Marty become available on physical media. We can always hope! Take care!

Tim had an older brother, John, also an actor who I saw in some COMBAT! episodes. He closely resembled Tim and he was very good as well.

Yes, I do know that John and Tim were brothers. John is still living at the age of 87. He was in quite a few films and TV shows over the years. There was such an innocence about Spin and Marty. Well, that goes for anything that came from Disney in those days. Tim represented the cool kid that I always wanted to be. But he was still likeable. Sort of like everyone's big brother. I'm glad he made a successful, happy life for himself. I feel the same way about David Stollery, who knew at a young age that he didn't want to continue as an actor and went on to great success. Not all child actors have been so fortunate.

When we lose a celebrity that we pretty much grew up with we cannot help but think of our own mortality as well.

But when I think about it Prince was close to my age and his music was a big part of my teenage years. So, I can relate to what you are going through. A nice tribute Mike.

Very nice video Mike. This represents very early childhood memories for me.

Thank you for the comment! I agree that Tim's acting was so natural that he didn't seem to be playing a character, but just being himself. Same with David Stollery. They worked well together.

Curious. This guy has adopted the same overall look as Matt Zoller Seitz and a number of others. I wonder if there was an ur-spokesman who popularized that look originally.
